Verse 1
F# A#m
I got a job on a railroad track,
G#m F#
Swinging a hammer and breaking my back,
F# A#m
The foreman likes to push the men,
G#m F#
As soon as we’re through we’re working again.
Chorus
F D#m A#m
I got a girl just down a line,
B F#
Who takes my money and drinks my wine,
F D#m A#m
She’s gonna marry me some old day,
G#m F#
But not while I’m working on the railway.

Verse 2
F# A#m
The cook here is a great old guy,
G#m F#
We loath his singing but we love his pie,
F# A#m
And every time that the train rolls in,
G#m F#
He buys supplies and he guzzles his gin.
Chorus
F D#m A#m
He’s got a girl just down the line,
B F#
Who takes my money and drinks my wine,
F D#m A#m
She’s gonna marry him some old day,
G#m F#
But not while I’m working on the railway.

Verse 3
F# A#m
The men I work with are all good souls,
G#m F#
They mend the track where the diesel rolls,
F# A#m
They work in summer and in winter snow,
G#m F#
Way up in Northwest Ontario.
Chorus
F D#m A#m
And they got women just down the line,
B F#
Who take their money and drinks their wine,
F D#m A#m
They’re gonna marry them some old day,
G#m F#
But not while they’re working on the railway.
